Gene
Candy, also sold as Toffee, is a recessive albino gene of the ball python: it removes most dark pigment, leaving yellow, orange and lilac tones that pale with age. It is an allele of Albino, so one Candy copy and one Albino copy together make a visual albino called a Candino.
Ball pythons show Candy only with two copies. One copy makes a het, which looks normal but can pass Candy on.
Example: het × het gives about 1 in 4 Candy per egg (1/4).

Ball pythons commonly live 15 to 20 years in captivity, and some live longer. Merck gives that planning range, while the Royal Veterinary College says up to 25 years. Much older animals are documented, but an exceptional record should not become a promise attached to every hatchling. Create a free ball python profile so age […]
A ball python feeding and shed log is most useful when it records events without guessing their cause. Keep what was offered, when it was offered, what you observed afterward, and the date and character of each shed. Creatures supports animal records and care plans so future tasks and completed events can stay separate. This […]
